Be WiTh Me

Today is the day where everything came to an end. Though I had already prepared for the worst, was still unable to take it when I heard the news. 5 years…. Its gonna be a long long wait. No one knows what will happen in this 5 years but I really hope that everything will just go smoothly from now on. Though initially I didn’t really feel anything but subsequently, the sad feeling just slowly creeps up on me. Its gonna be hard but I hope everyone will be strong.

It was raining cats and dogs this morning when I was out to the bank at Somerset. With me was a big umbrella in my hand. While I was waiting to cross the road to the bank, a man in his 40’s tap on my shoulder to ask if I could give him a lift across the road. I was glad that I could help. After I came out from the bank, I bumped into a visually handicapped  Malay auntie who was trying to find her way in the heavy rain. Initially, a lady who was working at a stall near by tried to help her. But because she was working then, she asked if I could help. Without a second thought, I agreed even though I have to get back to work. Its my first time helping a visually handicapped person so I was a little nervous. I know I didn’t do a good job but I was really glad that I could help. In order to make the auntie feel at ease, I tried to establish a conversation with the auntie.

Auntie told me that she wanted to go to Centre Point where she worked and she had came all the way from Bukit Batok. But because it was raining, she had lost her way. Hence, I assured her that I would bring her to her work place. But before she went to work, she told me she wanna go Mc Donalds to buy her lunch. So I brought her there.  In her pocket, she took out some coins to pay to the crew at the counter after ordering. I  helped her to pick up the amount she needed to pay. Leaving Mc, she told me to bring her to level 1 and from there, she would go up to level 3 herself. I didn’t bear to let her find her way there on her own, so I escorted her all the way till the door step. Auntie works at a foot massage centre. She thank me and wish me have a nice day.

The feeling is so great cos I get to help someone who is in need of help. People out there, please render help to those who need it. What you have done may not be great, but it will definitely brighten up someone’s day. Moreover, good deed done will one day bring good fortune.

And to those slackers out there; If a visually handicapped auntie can get a job to provide for herself, I don’t see why you can’t. So wake up and stop slacking!!!

I can’t remember when was the last time I took a public transport. But its definitely a long long time. Well today (11.11.08), I took a bus and transferred to a train to work. Ask me why? Cos my brother wanna go down to town and he said he wanna go the same way as I do. Must be thinking I could have give him a ride on my bike right? No way! Cos he still dunno that I have a bike!! Ha ha…. Anyway, the sky was drizzling then so I just gave up the idea of riding to work. The journey was still alright. Not too bumpy nor too long. I guess its still not that bad to take a public transport once in a while.

For some reason, I was out of my comfort zone and ended up in hell…. To make things worse, people keep barking at me for this and that when I don’t even have the resources that I need. Everything just sucks! Well, its ok. I shall endure for now. Let’s see who will have the last laugh.

At times, I always find out things which no one has the intention to let me know. However, when I brought the truth out, people still tries ways and means to continue twisting it. I really feel very sad…. It used to be like this in the past and it is still like this now. Maybe I should just turn and walk away from now on….

Today is my last day at NTP. Ain’t that fast? I just received news on Monday and today, my outlet is being taken over and tomorrow, I’m gonna end up at my worst nightmare place. Lucky thing is I still managed to bide good bye to most of my regulars at NTP. And guess what? I received a ESPN sling bag yesterday from the ESPN director, Mr Tom. He didn’t have time to pass it to me, but got his secretary to send to me. So nice of him. To make my day, Christy and Joanne came down today to pass me a gift he bought while he was away to China for the Olympics. Though he kept forgetting about it, I am still very happy he dropped by today. Its a opera face bottle cape opener. He also wrote me a card. Ha…. In it he says, “Chris, maybe you can make India your next tourist destination (the card has got picture from windows of Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur: Rajasthan, India)!! Just a note to say thank you for being so fantastic for the last couple of years and really brightening our days. Love from Christy & Joanne.” Oh…. See the reason why I am so sad to leave NTP? I have so many nice customers there. Simon and Alistar also gave me a surprise praising in front of Esther while we were in the middle of some discussion. Ha…. Although they didn’t manage to change the fact that I had to go, but I am really very happy that I have so many nice friends there. Yup, they are more like friends to me rather than customers. Hmmm…. I’m gonna miss them. Hope they will come by P.S more often to visit me.

Moo Moo is back at my house once again cos she kept crying, doesn’t wanna eat nor pee. Left with no choice, I had to bring her back home. Once she is home, she went to the cat litter straight away to do her business. This proves that she really misses home. But on the other hand, Rooney seems not to recognize her cos he kept hissing at her. Oh come on Rooney…. Its only a few days and you have forgotten about Moo Moo?? Don’t be a heartless jerk k. I’m gonna smack you!

Received news today that I’m gonna be posted out of my current work place to another. This will be my last week at my current work place. Still dunno where I will be heading to but I am definately sad to leave my comfort zone. Four days to go before the work week ends. Gonna use these four days to bide all my nice customer bye bye…. Boring….

My mum called me early in the morning telling me that Moo Moo is not coping well at her new home. She has been eating and cried none stop for the past 2 days. Guess she misses Da Mao and Rooney….  It just breaks my heart that  she had to go through this all by herself . Plan to visit her these few days. If she still shows no improvement, I have to bring her back. *sigh*

2 months of bond is neither long nor short but a special feeling is definately there. Yup, the 3 cats whom used to have a home of their own were being forced to be separated (all thanks to their owner who is not ME!). Today, I found a new home for one of the cats, Moo Moo. She is a very tamed female cat that has got black patches on its white fur. Well, actually her new owner is my mum’s malay colleague. Even though its sad that I had to separate Moo Moo from the other 2, I still feels happy that she had a new home rather than to be cooped up in that tiny balcony of mine where she squeeze, eat, sleep and shit. That is very unhealthy cos of the odour from the shit…. I was pretty worried that all of them would fall sick even though I cleared up the mess every day. Getting Moo Moo to her new place was very distress for me & my Bro, especially my Bro cos he likes Moo Moo very much. However, we were glad to see that Moo Moo’s new family members dote her very much. Hope Moo Moo will be happy at her new home though she is on her own now. Miss you Moo Moo.

To all people out there,

If you are unable to provide your pets with a stable home, please do not keep any. Nothing is for sure so don’t take things for granted. Only keep a pet if you are 100% that you won’t abandon them no matter what happen. It is very distress for your pets when you gave them up. They may not be respondent to whatever you say, but they do feel hurt when you gave them up. Because they can’t choose, they are always at a losing end. Just like a kid, they are a life time commitment. So please, spare a thought for them cos they have feelings too.
